002 - With Leo Cheng of Machi X - DAOs, NFT Art & Music

Community First - a DAOhaus Podcast

Machi X is a DAO powered collective of artists and patrons, curating and collecting digital art.

This week we've got Leo Cheng, summoner of the DAO. We have a great chat about how Leo found himself in Meta Cartel, and how that lead to Machi X came to be, and what it's like using NFTs and DAOs to fundamentally change the way a major industry like art/music operates. Hint: it's way better for artists, so much so that they don't believe you when you explain. Enjoy!

Topics:

• Trying to change customer behavior
• How the community that cares about the art is what really matters
• The Metaverse and MetaCartel Tower in Crypto Voxels
• Tokenizing Crypto Voxels
• Discord is dope
• The NFT community is super supportive
• The way the music industry treats artists and all the bullshit
• Onboarding artists to crypto via "White Glove" service
• Moving into visual art and artists
• Why onboarding for crypto things needs to be very hands on.... hence white glove
• and more...
